Political bits

Regarding the Clinton plan to battle to the convention floor,
(CNN) Clinton stalwart Chuck Schumer says no on Meet the Press. It should be settled by agreement after the primaries.

More troublingly, (Newsday) Another stalwart Clinton supporter and prominent African American leader, Charlie Rangel, says in prepared statements, "It's the people [who are] going to govern who selects our next candidate and not superdelegates."

(NYDailyNews) The pressure on black superdelegates is rising.

(Politico) Edwards and Obama meet.

(Politico) The RNC outlines its attack lines against Obama.

And, of course, (WaPo) Texas is unfair to Clinton, too.
(They didn't know the Texas delegate rules earlier?)

(LATimes) Obama is going after a demographic strategy for Mar. 4, using NAFTA to attack among labor in Ohio and trying to peel off Latinos is South Texas. (The idea for both groups is to target the youngest voters in each.)

(WaPo) Howard Kurtz starts with the tide of negative reporting against Clinton.

GOP: (AP) The McCain campaign is talking about trying to maintain their small campaign feel as they gear up. (History has repeatedly shown that John McCain is a lousy frontrunner among the GOP, 2000, the 2007 crash, 2008 against Huckabee. Is it only problems in the GOP, or is there something about John McCain?)

(NYTimes) The McCain campaign wants to use the current president for fundraising, but doesn't really want them in the same photograph. (Classy.)

Joe Lieberman didn't even vote in the Connecticut primary.
(And, yes, I did put Lieberman on the GOP side.)
